Thanks again, I'm happy to have met you here.

OEM Mopar parts are extr difficult to find here online.
Mopar.com.au is more for newer models and mainly accesoires
Moparspareparts.com au is good but has very limited stock.
Other Mopar stuff is bits here and there.

Prob will have to go with the one as linked above, best chance of success

If at all possible grab a thermo from a dealer, it really does seem to do its job the best.

I learned the hard way after chasing temp issues for months.

I believe that same thermostat is used in other Chrysler products and should be readily available.

Is the temp recommendation on the thermostat relative to the climate? I'm asking because now that it's cold, it seems my therostat doesn't open as often; I suddenly feel driven to replace it. Do you recommend a new cap while I'm at it?

Radiator caps wear out. Replace it. Use only the stat from the dealer, regardless of your climate.
